Facebook and HTTPS

Considering how much grief I give Facebook about their treatment of user data, I do have to commend them for this:

A Continued Commitment to Security.

Facebook is giving their users the option to have all traffic between the user’s computer and Facebook’s servers encrypted, all the time. Part of me wishes they didn’t make this an option – that they just turned it on for everyone, regardless.

The reason? FireSheep.
